Nonfiction

The Devil's Best Trick: How the Face of Evil Disappeared is a nonfiction work by Randall Sullivan published initially by Grove Atlantic in May 2024. That same year, it appeared in the UK under the subtitle "A History of Evil" through Grove Press. The book examines how ideas about the Devil have evolved over time and questions his actual existence. Sullivan investigates Christian theology, satanic groups, and Aztec rituals involving human sacrifice. The author also shares personal reflections on confronting evil. Reviews were divided, with commendations for the engaging storytelling but complaints about inconsistent narrative threads. Several critics felt Sullivan’s final points were lacking.
